Anterior Muscles of the Human Body Anterior muscles of the human body are included in first-level courses in human anatomy. The topic muscles of the human body is important for students of nursing, physiotherapy, sports science and other health science subjects. The following labelled diagram of human anterior muscles includes some muscles required by the ITEC Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology (Sept 2009). All of the skeletal muscles of the human body cannot be seen from any one view. This is partly because they are located in different areas of the body e.g. anterior, posterior, medial, lateral etc., and partly because there are layers of muscles, i.e. "deep" muscles are closest to bones whereas "superficial" muscles just beneath the skin.
